Rowell Virion

Rowell Virion (died 1715) was a privateer who worked for the Templar Order as a fence. Virion made the poor district of Havana, Cuba his hideout, and Virion and his crew of pirates flew whatever flag employed him to sink enemy ships. In 1715, the pirate Edward Kenway was hired by the Hashshashin to assassinate Virion, and he jumped into a pile of palm leaves as Virion urinated nearby. Kenway stabbed Virion with his hidden blades and pulled him into the pile of leaves, killing him and hiding the evidence; he was given money for carrying out the contract.
